perspective in latin means "to see"
perspective is used to make a drawing look
realistic and 3D.
the different points of views:
:) one point perspective
:) two point perspective
:) hidden vanishing point
ONE POINT PERSPECTIVE #1:
is used to show the picture that are face forward to the viewer. there is only one vanishing point in the horizon.
ONE POINT PERSPECTIVE #2:
drawing the horizon on the ground gives the impression that you're looking upto the object in one point perspective. this also has one vanishing point.
TWO POINT PERSPECTIVE #1:
two point perspective looks at the drawing in an angle. the horizon is drawn at the top and there are two sets of vanishing points.
TWO POINT PERSPECTIVE #2:
the horizon line is lowand again makes the drawing look as though you're looking upto the object again but at an angle. it also has two vanishing points.
HIDDEN VANISHING POINT:
in some drawings, the vanishing point can be completely out of the page, but it still can help in drawing any image.
EXAMPLES:
a two point perspective:
WHY??
because you can see tell that there are two vanishing points even though it doesnt clearly show it.
